Algal Toxins in Pond Aquaculture
Algal toxins are organic molecules produced by a variety of algae in marine, brackish and fresh waters, as well as on wet soils (Falconer, 1993). They are a problem in aquaculture when they are produced in sufficient quantities, with sufficient potency, to kill cultured organisms, decrease feeding and growth rates, cause food safety issues, or adversely affect the quality of the product (Shumwa...
متن کاملAlgal toxins and reverse osmosis desalination operations: laboratory bench testing and field monitoring of domoic acid, saxitoxin, brevetoxin and okadaic acid.
The occurrence and intensity of harmful algal blooms (HABs) have been increasing globally during the past few decades. The impact of these events on seawater desalination facilities has become an important topic in recent years due to enhanced societal interest and reliance on this technology for augmenting world water supplies. A variety of harmful bloom-forming species of microalgae occur in ...
متن کاملAlgal Toxins Alter Copepod Feeding Behavior
Using digital holographic cinematography, we quantify and compare the feeding behavior of free-swimming copepods, Acartia tonsa, on nutritional prey (Storeatula major) to that occurring during exposure to toxic and non-toxic strains of Karenia brevis and Karlodinium veneficum. These two harmful algal species produce polyketide toxins with different modes of action and potency. We distinguish be...
متن کاملEnvironmental and health effects associated with Harmful Algal Bloom and marine algal toxins in China.
The frequency and scale of Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) and marine algal toxin incidents have been increasing and spreading in the past two decades, causing damages to the marine environment and threatening human life through contaminated seafood. To better understand the effect of HAB and marine algal toxins on marine environment and human health in China, this paper overviews HAB occurrence and ...
متن کاملSome Experiments with Undeenedness
We distinguish two kinds of undeenedness: undeenedness in existence versus undeenedness in information. We give several applications of the rst kind: a rst order formulation of the untyped lambda calculus and a Zermelo-Fraenkel style theory for partial functions which is equally powerful as ZF-Set Theory. We add the rst kind of unde-nedness to a typed lambda calculus, and show that identifying ...
